There has been a lot of optimization in the bitmap area ( thanks e.g. to
Marcus)

Point them out clearly, having an example program on the net is always good.
But don't expect volonteers to react on all time to your needs immediate...

: This does not seem to be of concern to any of the developers as my previous

Again, not everybody is watching allways. Be persistant, but in a useful and
polite way.
